Hi so I am on Win10 and Git 2.35.1.
$ git --version
git version 2.35.1.windows.1
I think my Git Bash terminal has some encoding issues.
For example if I type java the message I got is all mojibake.
(I am not sure why my Java is printing in another language other than English honestly. I did not configure anything special when I install JRE or JDK.)
$ java
▒÷▒: java [-options] class [args...]
(ִ▒▒▒▒)
▒▒ java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(ִ▒▒ jar ▒ļ▒)
▒▒▒▒ѡ▒▒▒▒▒:
-d32 ʹ▒▒ 32 λ▒▒▒▒ģ▒▒ (▒▒▒▒▒▒▒)
-d64 ʹ▒▒ 64 λ▒▒▒▒ģ▒▒ (▒▒▒▒▒▒▒)
-client ѡ▒▒ "client" VM
-server ѡ▒▒ "server" VM
Ĭ▒▒ VM ▒▒ client.
My locale is UTF-8 though:
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
And, when using commands like echo, UTF-8 characters are correctly displayed though:
$ echo 中文中文
中文中文
I tried various methods like git config --global i18n.logOutputEncoding utf-8 and setx LC_ALL C.UTF-8 but java command still prints a mess.
What is the problem?
Is java command using some other encoding all together, not UTF-8?
Check first, as in here, if this works:
java -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
java -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -XshowSettings -version
The second command would show the current settings.
If that work, you can set those options through the environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS.
Although, since JDK9+, JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS is a valid alternative.
Following instructions here, I found a permanent fix: REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS /d -Duser.language=en /t REG_SZ /f and restart computer.
And now when I type java
$ java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Duser.language=en
Usage: java [options] <mainclass> [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [options] -jar <jarfile> [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
or java [options] -m <module>[/<mainclass>] [args...]
